There must be a way through HTML to dynamically place the site in the centre dynamically regardless of window height. I've seen this done without margins. I'll have to peek into the HTML page code.

    UPDATE: this can be done through CSS code, see this discussion.
    Rtruant how would CSS center top to bottom a 1024 high page correctly on a 768 high display? Reduce the size of the page? Squish things together?

    Centering Horizontally is very easy most software creates that automatically for you. Vertical centering is difficult because of numerous variables. Only one of which is the maximum screen height, what happens when the browser is not open in full screen?

    Rtruant,
    Maybe it's possible, although not all that easy? This method was mentioned here and used with irregular shapes for mouseover effect. I was able to adapt it to be clickable instead of a mouseover effect: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...t=38900&page=2
    I'm no expert, but it's effective when needed. Here's my sample: http://www.michiganimaging.com/Truant/ Hope this helps for next time

    Pixelart,

    Really...nice site. It loads fast, it's artsy enough to look designed, but not so much as to make navigation confusing, and it just generally looks good. The footer thing looks good and I like the different image on each page, especially since it is "faded in" (I just implemented something not-quite-as-pretty on a site I just did and actually came across a site referring to these as "footer mullets").

    This site is a good example of how a Xara-made site can look like something made with anything else out there. It looks custom, balanced, etc.

    You should be happy with your accomplishment.

    With regards to the SEO, I think a lot of what you said is true. Different sites all work differently and how you want to focus your efforts will drive a lot of how you want to design the site. Your portfolio would have really been a huge page the way you had it before (not necessarily byte-wise, but content-wise). Also, it would have been impossible to track analytics at a portfolio page level, where as individual pages, they will each show up as vieed or not - if you see people look at pages 1, 2, and 3, but then almost no one moves forward from there, something probably needs to change to keep their attention, etc...

    Also, having just done two "professional" sites, and having paid attention to details like page titles, wordings, file names, alt tags, etc, I am seeing (with a little patience) that they are showing up in the Google index now and they are getting excited because they were starting to not believe me when I would say "you have to be patient, it will show up when it shows up". Now they believe in the chaos that is SEO

    Very constructive comments, slavelle. In particular, this comment made substantial sense:

    Thanks.

    You would only use this if the page was smaller than most computer displays, 760X700 or smaller.

    That would work, but it would be more work that it's worth for my site.
    One tool I use to design a user interface is to try it out on naive people first. No one had trouble finding the links, it turned out to be intuitive.

    It ain't broke, so I ain't fixin' it.

    Hi all,

    My new (not complete) upgrade of a site for a client.. I had to copy their old site and add a web cam! Fun.

    Problem is that the old site has high search rankings and all the pages are exported as HTML not HTM.

    I took care to name the pages the same in the new site but they are exported as htm...

    Any way to export as HTML?

    Name your additional pages: Web Properties>>Page>>Page filename
    Then when you export the site, name the first page index.html
